Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

This is just a link to bigpup's thread on the 'old forum'. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic ... 153#851153. Perhaps the most important post concerns the manual edit you'll have to make to the syslinux.cfg unetbootin writes to a USB-Stick, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 870#861870.

Per bigpup:
"However you can manually tweak the syslinux.cfg file on the USB flash drive.

Change:
Code:
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd

To:
Code:
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash" Emphasis supplied.

p.s. AFAIK, while you are doing manual edits, any boot-argument you are familiar with which could be used on grub4dos's menu.lst's kernel line can also be used on syslinux.cfg's linux line.

This just a follow-up.
If unetbootin is available via your Distro's package manager it is probably simpler to use that version even if it may be slightly out of date: well, as long as that version support UEFI if you need that. But if Unetbootin is not available via your Distro's package manager, you can download a version from here: https://unetbootin.github.io/.

The Linux version downloads as a "bin" file. That actually seems to be "sort-of" an AppImage. To use it, set its permissions to executable. Then Left-Click it. Under Bionicpup64, the GUI appears along with a complaint that "mlabel can not be found... install mtools or your distribution's equivalent."
